- Does vinegar weed killer work?
I made a mixture of 1 Gallon vinegar, 1 cup of salt, and a tablespoon dishsoap.
My original conclusion was that this was a good weed killer. After more extensive testing, I have found that vinegar is NOT a good nor effective weed killer. I also look at some reports about the glysophate in Round-up. Does it cause Cancer? I also compare vinegar to round-up and weed b gone. See who wins!

Roundup - no, never. Weeds are not THAT bad.
I have been using straight vinegar for 5 years and it kills all of my Florida weeds, no exceptions.
I used vinegar at 45% and it definitely worked EXCEPT on poison ivy.
Thanks for the followup and for confirming that vinegar really is useless for proper weed killing. What it does is to look effective because it can quickly cause leaf browning. What it doesn't do is actually kill plants at the root level.
Does the PH of the soil make a difference? Or the general composition of the soil?
Hi I made my homemade weed killer using rock salt white vinegar the salt doesn't dissolve very fast Is there anything I can do to get it to dissolve faster?
The beauty of using Round-up is not its ability kill weeds forever. It was developed for farmers that needed a herbicide that would kill a weed without doing harm to the soil. In other words, a farmer would use it to wet the leaves of a weed which would absorb the herbicide through its cell structure to kill the weed's root. What herbicide which landed on the soil would evaporate and disappear from the soil within three days. This enabled the Farmer to replant his crop without harming the new crop.
I am 81 years old, and I have been using Round Up all my life and I am not dead yet.
don't speak too soon.
having watched your first video recommending vinegar, now with this position, shouldn't you delete that video? since it doesn't work
He prob makes money from these videos. I'd imagine he prefers to make money and have misleading videos out there, rather than not make money and have accurate quality videos.
I live in Montana and have all sorts of weeds. 30% vinegar kills all if them. Im wondering if your vinegar was truly 30%
I work at a church, and used 1 gallon vinegar, 1 cup of salt & 1 table spoon of dawn dish liquid, but I refuse to use anything that could harm the animals next door (they have 2 doggies I bring slim jim's to) Churches don't make as much money as the media would have you brainwashed into... and no we don't wanna hurt the neighbors fur babies either! I have been pretty happy with the vinegar results, and the dogs still bark at me when I first get there, but no one is getting hurt me or the dogs
Thanks for the recipe. What type of vinegar do you use (regular distilled vinegar 5%, 30% or 45%)?

@@lunallena5594 grocery store food grade distilled vinegar... if I can't use it on myself, I can't use it near the neighbors fur babies
@@lunallena5594 trick is to keep an eye on the weather... it has to be a day that's like 80 degrees no chance of rain... Since I do alot of landscaping there I am always watching the weather patterns, to see whats going on, because if it gets diluted instead of cooking the pesky weeds you can't win
@beneficialmeditations4832 Thank you very, very much for the details!! I live in an HOA that is picky about lawns, and I also don't want to hurt our environment. Appreciate your help!!
He was using a spray bottle to administer the 30% vinegar concoction. I don't think he applied enough. You need to use a pump or electric sprayer so you can apply enough.
He needed to add a little dawn dish soap in order for the vinegar to stick to the weeds and do the job too.
Use all chemicals wisely. All have risk and benefits. Protect yourself. We all use chemicals everyday.
I used roundup, the concentrated ones and it worked best.
I pulled out the weeds, sprayed a weed killer and some came back. I got the roots out the first time. Now what?
Welcome to the world of weeds. Some always come back. In the 3 sections on my video where I sprayed, I have weeds also. I believe I read on a round-up bottle, "guaranteed to last for 3 months" :-(
Seeds. This is why total eradication only occurs over several reproductive cycles
Why did it work the first time?
On some weeds, it kills the foilage but not the roots. I didn't wait long enough to see that some of the weeds came back green in a couple weeks. The effectiveness of vinegar seems to be hit or miss.
Weed B Gone is a selective herbicide, engineered to attach broad leaf weeds. It is intended for use in grass lawns, where it will kill broad leaf weeds without doing significant damage to grass if applied as instructed. It is not an appropriate treatment for the test area you used in your demonstration. Your intentions may be good but your method was not scientific.
You are correct in that it is meant for lawns, however, the bottle says it "KILLS ALL TYPES OF WEEDS". The weeds don't know whether they are in the grass or amongst other weeds. If it kills "ALL" weeds, it should have at least killed some of mine. The real point to the video however was to see if vinegar can be used as an effective weed killer. Thanks for your feedback.
Use 100 % vinegar
You gotta add salt and soap to the vinegar my dude.
I did use soap and salt. I called it a "vinegar concoction" and it was written on the bottle I sprayed.
Round up is toxic by definition.

Come on LOL. Even WATER has chemicals in it. Acetic acid (vinegar) is also a chemical yet we like it on food.
Both herbicides and pesticides are about finding as mundane and safe chemicals as possible that have the wanted effect on the targeted plant/pest.
Alternatively you can go weeding, nobody stops you.
Dont want weeds? Eat them. They will be out of ur garden and youll save at grocery store. Sometimes youll find weeds at the grocery store aka dandelion greens. They taste good and healthy

I find dandelion root disgusting, tried it as an alternative to coffee not for me🤢
